I think anyone will be hard pressed to find anything at Big W now (unless they have found more pallets), my local has been picked clean. Quote
ED-209 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Whenever I hear the words Big W, I think of that occer guy with the imperial shuttles, how the hell he managed to swing that I'll never know 1 Quote

ED-209 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 No more 20% off Lego at DJs. I went to get some minifigs yesterday, but they were 5 bucks. I did get a piggy guy though, and 3 Mr burns. Quote

I was able to nab about 15 of the latest series at WW for $3.50 each (30% off toys) through feeling got a good selection, although no HD or Unicorn Girl. It doesn't phase me much as I normally send them out as bonuses for eBay purchases. Quote

Minifigs are my plan to get ebay seller rep. It seems to be working. Piggy sold for 14.25. Must have been the right price cuz he sold within an hour of being listed. I'm not bothering with minifigs that go for less than 9-10 bucks. Apu, Milhouse, Burns and Wiggum are popular. I'll save my sets for sale later in the year, or until after eol. With the Force Awakens coming out in December, I predict that classic SW sets will get better profit margins. We'll have to see though... If I can get good discounts on ISD and AT-AT ill pounce on em. Quote

ED-209 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Parting out is also a good way to work up the numbers, its a little time consuming but it does get the numbers. I've thought about that, parting out minifigs from sets. I bought some Death Star Troopers at WW for 30% off and I might part them out. I wouldn't want to part bricks and bits though. It seems like a lot of work! I'm sure it'd be profitable in the long run, but sorting takes a lot of time. Atm I'll stick to smoothing out suited minifigs and selling my stash of rarer Simpsons ones. Apparently they are now eol with series two coming out, they may appreciate, but I don't think they'll exactly go through the roof. Quote

ED-209 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I pulled the trigger Nice I'll probably wait until I can get one at discount, being the tightwad I am. IMO it is almost modular quality. So much detail inside and even out the back of it. Plenty of unique printed tiles and bricks! No more stoned minifigs to boot. I'm well impressed Quote
Alucard1982 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Might new to invest in those second set of shelves, I literally have no room left Quote

slobey Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I saw these box protectors on eBay and thought I'd give them a go. They're a bit of an outlay but I think good protection for long term holds. Also reusable when I sell the sets. Edited April 15, 2015 by slobey Quote

slobey Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Larger ones are $11 each plus postage, the more you buy at once the cheaper they become. I'm paranoid about dust, shelfwear, crushing, my 4 year old opening them etc etc. So they're good piece of mind for my long term holds. Once all the tabs are snapped in they're pretty hard to get open.... The website is www.videogameboxprotectors.com.au Quote

AFFOL Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Just a note about the clear lego box protectors, I see guys use these at the brickvention on sets, like harry potter and from a selling point it makes them look pretty special and yes keeps everyones finger prints off them. I think you should leave them on in a sale, if I were to buy sets in these, I would go back as they show you take that extra care. By the way thanks for link, I am going to find one for my back to future set that I had signed by Chris Lloyd. Edited April 16, 2015 by AFFOL Quote
